that had often caught blue fish by
throwing bare hook in the breakers
and pulling it quickly. This is a regular
practice at Nantucket. but on Long
Island. where l told it. no one knew Of
it. and was viewed with distrust by all
the men. Next I got up a children's
sailing party. and We were becalmed
until O'Clock the next morning. When
We reached the wharf half the ladies at
the hotel were down there. the mothers
frightfully angry. and some IF them on
the verge Of mysteries. Mt one of the
ladies would even look ut me after that.
FINALLY, as l stood on the stoop one
day, stranger asked me if there were
any mosquitoes there. Millions said

men shoot. and think they are snipe.'
1t was the truth, only put trifle more
picturesquely than was necessary, per-

that the proprietor and clerks would no:

field for speculation.

offered. but the farmers who produce the

the Spectators at their own game.
why is not more Of it raised:''
The mint requires peculiar soil and
special care is needed both in the raising
of the plant and the dis,illing of the oil.
The crop is grown on land that is moist
and has rich, sandy lQam. The mint l.
planted in burrows thirty inches apart,
and while growing requires a great deal
of cultivation, rs every weed has to be
kept out. Otherwise the oil would not be
good. When full grown and in bloom it
is cut with scythe and hauled to the

covers are used to hold the mint which
is tramped down thoroughly. The steam

receiving tank. which has an overflow
pipe running from the bottom up nearly
TO level with the top. The object of

So much has been said about the alleged
strained relations between Rev. Dr.. Joseph
Parker. of City Temple, HOlborn, London,
and Plymouth church. Brooklyn. that the
public will be glad to see an authoritative
statement OF the whole affair, from Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, editor-in-chief Of the
Chrtstidn Union. and temporary pastor tor
supply Of the church. He says:
The Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker preached at
Plymouth church. Brookly d. Sunday morn
ing. before very large congregation. A
reception is to be given DIR. Parker In the
parlors Of the church Tuesday evening. He
sails for Europe on Saturday. Dr. Parker
has made the very generous contribution OF
$500 being the sum paid him for his ex-
penses in coming here to del 5er the eulogy
on Mr.. Bsecherl to the Memorial commit
tee. The secular papers have euriOusly
blundersd in reporting the matters connected
with this euloey. Plymouth church did
not invite DIR. Parker to deliver the eulogy;
he was invited by the Memorial Fund com
mittee, but not even . single member OF
Plymouth church WAS upon II. Plymouth
church had nothing more to do with the
matter than Trinity church. New York, nor
quite as much as Triuity church, Brooklyn,
since ii happened that the rector Of the
latter church was chairman Of the CON-
mittee. Nor did that committee ever criti-
else the amount paid by itself to Dr. Parker.
nor did Plymouth church. The criticism
came from Il cal newspaper In Brooklyn.
The only connection plymouth church had
with the affair was that one Of Its members
stepped in to heal the breach and paid DR..
Parker ont Of his own pocket the S70O for
travelling expenses and pulpit supply, that
ii might not be charged to the Memorial
fund, and then DR.. Parker paid the sum 50
paid to him over 10 the fund. thus incress-
ing the receipts from the eulogy, BY the
double contribution Of Sl.40O. to about
So, 700.
As to this matter, DR.. Parker is certainly
on the summit. In connection with this,
we have the information. BY cable, that
Mr.. Berry declines the Plymouth pastorate.
He greets-
Plymouth. appreciates its confidence. 10
ciprocates its affection, prays for its pros
